Note 2

Weighted averages based on the number of full-time educators: younger than 30 (for "Starting salary/typical training"); aged 35 to 44 (for "Salary after 10 years of experience/typical training"); or aged 45 or older (for "Salary after 15 years of experience/typical training" and "Salary at the top of the scale/typical training"). The data reflects public institutions in submitting jurisdictions, as reported in the 2015/2016 Elementary-Secondary Education Survey (ESES). Yukon and Nunavut did not submit data and are not included in the Canadian average. The Northwest Territories is not included in the Canada average because the ESES does not report a breakdown by age for the number of full-time educators. The Northwest Territories is included in the average for "Years from starting to top salary".
